Scripture & Reflection: First Sunday after Trinity Sunday, 22nd June, and for the week ahead:

Scripture:

To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace (Romans 8.6)

Reflection:

We can’t avoid thinking about ‘the flesh’ – all the aspects of our physical life – but is that all that our minds are set on? If so, says Paul, we are doomed to be thinking about what is time-limited.‘The Spirit’ however is the breath that keeps renewing life, the animating spirit of love, hope,and all the graces. If we ‘set the mind on the Spirit’, he says, we will find refreshment.
